- Net Turo profit is your share of trip earnings minus cleaning, wear, your car payment and other fixed costs.
- Break-even booked days tell you how many days a month the car must be rented before it makes money.
- You can include or leave out depreciation, and project the result across several cars.
- Your host share depends on the protection plan you pick, so check the current split in the Turo app.
How to use the Turo host profit calculator
Enter your rate and booked days
Type your average daily rate, the days the car is booked in a typical month and your share of the trip price.
Add your fixed costs
Enter the car payment and other monthly costs such as insurance beyond your Turo plan, registration and parking.
Fine-tune trips and wear
Open the advanced section to set average trip length, cleaning cost per trip and maintenance and wear per rental day.
Add depreciation and fleet size
Choose whether to include depreciation, enter the car value and yearly depreciation, and set the number of cars for a fleet projection.
How Turo host profit is calculated
The calculator starts with the trip price, takes out Turo share, subtracts the costs that rise with each booking and then subtracts your fixed monthly costs.
Monthly profit per car
Trip earnings = daily rate × days booked × your share
Variable costs = (days booked ÷ trip length) × cleaning cost + days booked × wear per day
Profit = trip earnings − variable costs − car payment − other fixed costs
Break-even days = fixed costs ÷ (daily rate × share − wear per day − cleaning ÷ trip length)
Monthly depreciation = car value × yearly depreciation % ÷ 12
The break-even calculation uses a 30.4 day average month.
Turo host profit examples
Example 1: One car booked 20 days a month
A car rents for $75 a day for 20 days a month. You keep 70% of each trip, the average trip is 3 days, cleaning costs $25 a trip and wear is $8 per rental day. The car payment is $350 and other fixed costs are $150.
- Gross trip price $1,500
- Your 70% share $1,050
- Cleaning (6.7 trips) $166.67
- Maintenance and wear $160
- Car payment and fixed costs $500
- Monthly profit $223.33
That works out to about $11.17 per booked day and $2,680 a year.
Example 2: Break-even booked days
Each booked day brings in $52.50 after the Turo share, less $8 of wear and about $8.33 of cleaning.
- Profit kept per booked day $36.17
- Fixed costs $500
- Break-even days 13.8 days a month
- Break-even utilization 45.5%
Booking fewer than about 14 days a month would lose money at these numbers.
Example 3: Adding depreciation
The car is worth $18,000 and loses 12% of its value a year, which is $180 a month.
- Profit before depreciation $223.33
- Depreciation $180
- Profit after depreciation $43.33
- Break-even days with depreciation 18.8 days
Depreciation turns a healthy-looking month into a thin one. Across five identical cars, profit after depreciation would be about $217 a month.

Turo host profit calculator FAQ
How much can a Turo host make?
It depends on your car, city, daily rate and how many days it is booked. Enter your own numbers. The default example earns about $223 a month after costs, which is a sample, not a typical result.
What share of the trip price does a host keep?
The split depends on the protection plan you choose, so check the current percentage in the Turo app and enter it in the calculator.
Should I include depreciation?
Include it if you want the full cost of owning the car. Leave it out if you only care about cash flow. The results show profit both ways.
What is a good utilization rate?
There is no single number. Compare your break-even utilization with the days you really book. If break-even is 45%, you need to book more than that to make a profit.
Does the calculator include taxes?
No. Income tax and local taxes are not included. Talk to a tax professional about how hosting income is taxed where you live.
Can I use it for several cars?
Yes. Set the number of cars in the advanced options to see fleet totals. They assume every car performs the same.
Good to know
The share of each trip you keep depends on the protection plan you choose, and a higher share generally means taking on more risk. Use the share shown in your own account. Depreciation is the cost hosts most often leave out, because it does not appear as a monthly bill, yet it can be one of the largest costs of the car.
